The History of Recipes
Transcribed cooking instructions as an idea can be traced far back into history, at least as far back into history as the Egypt of the Pharoahs, and possibly even further. Having said that, generally, these ancient cook books were just simple hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for meal preparation.
Moving our culinary historical trip onwards, we find some recipe books published in the 1300s - a cookery book entitled `Forme of Cury`, and another named `Curye on Inglish`. Perhaps surprisingly, these two books are not about the curry that appears on menues today, but rather accounts of the types of food eaten by the rich and wealthy people of that period. Later on, in the 15th century, people returning from the crusades brought back many foods and spices from Arab cooking, including spices such as coriander, parsley, and rosemary. The introduction of these new foods and spices led to an increase in manuscripts on cooking, some of which still exist in private cookery archives. The arrival of TV gave us TV cookery programs and the demand for the spin-off recipe books. Which brings us neatly up to date and the invention of the internet, permitting everyone to access thousands of recipes just like those on the site you are now reading. |
